Maryland HB132 regulates the admissibility of intercepted communications in criminal trials.
Maryland HB132 amends the admissibility rules for intercepted communications in criminal trials. It allows the contents of intercepted communications and derived evidence to be admitted if the communication involves a crime against an individual, the evidence is material, and the interception was not part of a state law enforcement investigation. The bill also requires notice to the intercepted party before offering the communication as evidence. This law applies to communications intercepted in Maryland or elsewhere if they would violate Maryland law.
